The pros
I will start with the pros of Steemit supported Lotto as the disadvantages of gaming is already known to everyone as compared to the advantages. On Steemit, the lotto game has no fixed price. It is based on your upvote worth and your entry is as valid as a whale, without any level difference.
You can upvote at the voting strength you wish. This game is about the power of the Steemit platform. You want to vote at 1% or at 100%, you are most welcomed to choose! There is no discrimination.
It does not require any funds coming from your wallet like regular lotto games. You do not spend any of your money. It is only your upvote and your time which is required. The time is obviously to write your guesses to try your luck.
You will be a winner every time you upvote the post. At the end of the 7 day period, whether you win the lotto game or not, you will be getting curation rewards!
Whatever you win has no taxes associated with it. You can enjoy the full amount the way that you want!
The cons
The Lotto game is a game of chance. The odds of winning is slim based on the probabilities. There is no denying this fact. But hey you are not taking out any money from your pocket to play on Steemit but just for the fun of it :)
Games of chance tend to be addictive. Be aware not to get addicted to the game and if you are someone who gets addicted to gaming easily, better stay away from the beginning XD
I am unable to think of anymore disadvantage. If you have any disadvantage of the Steemit Lotto game, do share it with all of us in the comments below.
Tribute to Steemit
Steemit is a powerful tool that has enabled so many services to be born out of thin air. Steemit is so malleable that we can make anything that we want out of it. It just requires some imagination and off the little bird goes to make it happen!
There is something for all of us here on this platform. Everything is out there for grabbing. Steemians sometimes struggle to write good posts but that should not be the end of the story. Try to see if you can use Steemit for something that best suits your ability.
Do you have what it takes to win this game? 😎
Don't forget to check if you are a winner every Sunday at around 19 00 (GMT)

Like guessing games? Why not check out @killerwhale for crypto guessing games!
Free entry is a great thing and makes it profitable.
Most lotteries only pay out about half of the take. Thats a ripoff. We need lotteries with much better odds! It is possible to run a successful one that pays out almost all the money to the players, but they are not easy to find!
The Lotto game I am running will have all the SBD reward added to the pot :)
Sweet! I resteemed for my followers. Great stuff!
Thanks for the resteeming tip! XD
